I knew a fellow who did that exact thing, would put the signed receipt underneath the duplicate printed one, copy the signature, put a fake line on it, then put a fake tip amount on. Even for the system which said "duplicate", he just said the original got lost.

That's a perfect example of why I preferred the old carbon system! If the consumer had a true copy of the receipt instead of a duplicate which most times the consumers don't even sign nor total, it would be very hard for the restaurant (or other) business in question to dispute but the consumer actually wanted to have for a total.
